The best decision!

My husband and I first discovered Lolo through her YouTube channel and were immediately blown away by her talent. Even though our wedding wasn’t in the DC area, we knew we had to reach out—and we were so thrilled when she agreed to travel to Connecticut! Leading up to the big day, Lolo was incredibly responsive, professional, and helpful. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how beautiful the music was and how kind both Lolo and Emera were. We feel so lucky to have had such world-class musicians as part of our wedding, and Lolo is someone we truly hope to keep in touch with!

Amazing Musicians!

We are so happy Lolo was a part of our wedding day! We had Lolo and her guitarist play for us during our prelude, 30-min ceremony, and cocktail hour. She and her guitarist were consummate professionals and supreme musicians. From movie score pieces to pop covers to traditional Jewish pieces, they truly elevated our special day for us and our guests! Lolo was always so responsive and we highly recommend her without hesitation!

Amazing - brought our ceremony to life!

Lolo did an amazing job at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We were able to request very specific songs and she could play them all, and they sounded beautiful. Our friends and family really enjoyed it. It was exactly as we imagined! She was also super professional and communicative from our initial email interactions through the entire planning process. Such a great vendor to work with and amazing music!

An Amazing Talent!

Lolo and her violinist counterpart were amazing. From the inquiry process to the day of the wedding, everything was easy and simple. She is incredibly talented and played every piece we requested... From classical music to Lord of the Rings and Bridgerton, she did it all! She is also such a sweet person and incredibly personable. 10000000/10 recommend!

Prepared, professional, with flexible options

Thank you to Lolo and her partner for an effortless and easy experience for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Lourdes provided plenty of different options of instrument combinations based on our interests, proactively communicated with us, and happily accepted our request to play jazz songs for our ceremony (and delivered!) even though these were not songs we saw in her portfolio predominantly. Thank you Lourdes!

Book now!

Lolo Loves Cello exceeded all expectations! Finding them was a stroke of luck during my search for a string duet, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Lourdes's professionalism and responsiveness were exceptional, making the planning process seamless. Their claim of being able to play anything proved absolutely true. We requested specific songs for our wedding processional, and they accommodated us without hesitation.

Lourdes's attention to detail was remarkable. About a month before the wedding, she provided a comprehensive breakdown of our arrangements for confirmation and even inquired about our preferred attire colors. This level of personalized service was truly appreciated. We also entrusted them with selecting the prelude music based on a genre we specified, and their choices were absolutely perfect, creating a beautiful and elegant atmosphere.

Lolo Loves Cello added an unforgettable touch to our wedding, and we are eternally grateful for their contribution. If you're looking for a talented and accommodating string duet (or more!), look no further!

Lourdes was the best part of wedding planning.

Review for Lourdes de la Peña – Exceptional Wedding Cellist

Lourdes de la Peña was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on March 15, 2025. From the moment we booked her on October 14, the entire process was seamless. She was incredibly easy to communicate with, always responsive, and open to any changes we needed along the way.

Not only is she a talented and knowledgeable musician, but she also made the planning process effortless. She knew all the music we wanted, worked flawlessly with our organist and church, and was completely adaptable to our needs. Her professionalism and encouragement made the entire experience stress-free.

On the wedding day, she was punctual, prepared, and performed beautifully. We received countless compliments on the music—it was truly one of the highlights of our ceremony. Honestly, organizing the music with Lourdes was probably the easiest part of the wedding!

If you’re looking for a musician who is talented, reliable, and wonderful to work with, I highly recommend Lourdes. She made our wedding ceremony even more special, and we couldn’t be more grateful! …

An elegant addition to any special occasion!

We hired Lolo to perform as a quartet at our daughters wedding this past year. She was incredible to work with, and the music added so much to the ceremony and cocktail hour.
